[BioC] technical replicates

[William Kenworthy]

Hi, I have just been passed a set of affy data that consists of 3
states, two technical replicates of each state (6 chips overall)

1. whats the best way (normalisations, algorithms) to leverage technical
replicates?

2. how do you tell algorithms such as rma which are the replicates?  (I
presume the phenoData in the AffyBatch specifies this, but the examples
are in a binary format so you cant open the raw data file and see how
they are put together!)
